Avis Budget Group, Inc. Changes to Virtual Meeting Format for the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
April 21 2020 - 4:15PM
Avis Budget Group, Inc. (
NASDAQ: CAR) (the
“Company”) announced today that, due to the public health impact of
the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) and to prioritize the health
and well-being of our employees, shareholders and community, the
Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) has
been changed from an in-person meeting to a virtual format only.
Virtual Meeting Information for Our
Shareholders
The Meeting will be held on Thursday, May 7, 2020 at 9:00 a.m.
(Eastern Time), as disclosed in the proxy statement filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27,
2020. You will not be able to attend the Meeting physically in
person. We encourage you to access the Meeting prior to the start
time and allow sufficient time to log into the Meeting.
Shareholders at the close of business on March 25, 2020 (the
"Record Date”) are entitled to virtually attend the Meeting. Please
note that the proxy card included with the proxy materials
previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the change in
location and may continue to be used to vote your shares in
connection with the Meeting.
We have designed the format of the virtual Meeting to provide
shareholders with the same ability to participate that they would
have at an in-person meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the
Meeting, you are encouraged to vote your shares in advance of the
Meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials for
the Meeting. If you have already voted, you do not need to vote
again.
Our decision to hold the Meeting in a virtual format relates
only to the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Meeting Access
Attending as a Shareholder of Record
If you were a holder of record of the Company’s common stock as
of the Record Date (i.e., you held your shares in your own name as
reflected in the records of our transfer agent, Computershare), you
can attend the Meeting by accessing
www.meetingcenter.io/286687493 and entering the 15-digit
control number found on the proxy card and the meeting password,
CAR2020. Those without a control number may attend as a guest but
will not have the option to vote or ask questions at the
Meeting.
If you were a shareholder as of the Record Date and have your
control number, you may also vote your shares during the Meeting by
following the online instructions.
Registering to Attend as a Beneficial Owner
If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank,
broker or other agent, you must register in advance to attend the
Meeting. To register, you must obtain and submit a legal proxy from
the holder of record, reflecting the number of shares of the
Company’s common stock you held as of the Record Date, along with
your name and e-mail address, to Computershare. Please forward the
e-mail from your broker, bank or other agent, or attach an image of
your legal proxy, to legalproxy@computershare.com. Requests for
registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no
later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on Friday, May 1, 2020. You
will receive a confirmation e-mail directly from Computershare of
your registration.
Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to
virtually attend the Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by
one of the methods described in the proxy materials for the Meeting
to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the
Meeting.
